GeneratorOnlyAttribute

Declares a name that exists only in a generator's target language, such as a shader built-in. The compiler type-checks uses of it like any other declaration, so generators see fully typed facts, but it is never compiled: code may use it only inside a function that carries one of the listed attributes and that a generator consumes. Any other use is an error. Apply it to bodiless extern functions (which may then be public and generic, including function-typed and ref parameters) and to classes, structs and interfaces, whose members are covered too.

public struct GeneratorOnlyAttribute

attribute

An @attribute type; functions carrying it may use the declaration.

public attribute: DeclarationPath

additional_attributes

More @attribute types that also grant use.
